About The Author
Myra Wexler Darwish completed her first book, Jupiter Remembered, in her later years, fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming an author. Her second book, Until It’s Time: Embracing Life In Our Later Years, is now available on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble, Booklocker, and other vendors.
She and her loving spouse have been married for sixty-four years. She is a mother to three wonderful children and their spouses, a grandmother to three precious “grands,” and a great-grandmother to a "great grand."
She began her college path at 32, graduating with a BSN in Nursing from La Salle University in Philadelphia. Later, she earned an MSN in Family Nursing from UAH, in Huntsville, Alabama. She eventually became an associate professor of nursing. Her clinical practice focused on being an advanced clinical nurse specialist in gerontology (with a particular emphasis on geropsychiatry) and holistic nursing; later, she also studied and consulted in astrology. In 2002, she received a non-traditional PhD in Natural Health, with her dissertation focusing on "The Emergence of Flower-Derived Complementary/Alternative Therapies for Healing the Body, Mind, Emotions, and Spirit." In 2012, she completed the "Interpretive and Applied Astrology Training Program" at Southwest Contemporary Astrology in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with world-class astrologer Erin Sullivan.
Now retired from teaching, Myra’s time is dedicated to her favorite passions: writing, reading, spending time with family and friends, traveling, astrological research, practicing peace/wellness strategies for the body/mind, and spirit, and learning to love well and embrace the beauty of each day.
She is currently working on her latest book, "Petals of Love: Poetry of a Woman's Soul," which is an anthology of her poems.
